Is the toolbar only for password management?

Just wondering what all the Webroot toolbar does, is it just password management/identity management or is it also responsible for some of the programs browser protection? Does it have a 'Web of Trust' type feature where it shows whether a site is legit or not? I'm curious as I don't know if I'll use the password management or not. Thanks!

The "Web of Trust"-type protection you're referring to is housed in the Web Threat Shield, which does not need a toolbar to function. The toolbar is used only for password management.
